Hi all, In case not seen, the European Commission has adopted the Implementing Regulation and Annex on the 'cybersecurity risk-management and reporting obligations for digital infrastructure, providers and ICT service managers': https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/library/nis2-commission-implementi… In terms of next steps, the implementing regulation will be published in the Official Journal in due course and enter into force 20 days following after that. Meanwhile, most EU member states are still about to transpose the new framework into their national legislation.

Revising the Criteria for the Accreditation of Regional Internet Registries
by Athina Fragkouli 16 Oct '24

16 Oct '24

Dear colleagues, I would like to share an update on the ongoing work to revise the criteria for the accreditation of Regional Internet Registries. The NRO NC has published a document with proposed principles for the recognition of RIRs and ongoing requirements that RIRs should meet. You can read the details in my article published on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/author/athina/revising-the-criteria-for-the-accredita… This is an important step in the RIRs' and their respective communities' efforts to prove that there are adequate checks and balances to ensure the stability and self-governance of the Internet Numbers Registry System. As part of the RIPE community, I encourage you to share your thoughts on the proposed principles via the designated questionnaire, which is open until 19 November 2024. You can find the proposed principles document and the questionnaire at the following link: https://www.nro.net/policy/internet-coordination-policy-2/ There will also be a presentation on the NRO NC's work by Hervé Clément during RIPE 89 in the RIPE Community Plenary session. Kind regards, Athina Fragkouli Chief Legal Officer RIPE NCC

FYI: Sanctions and infrastructural ideologies - Policy & Internet - Wiley Online Library
by Vesna Manojlovic ＠ RIPE.net 14 Oct '24

14 Oct '24

Dear colleagues, I wanted to share the paper, by Niels ten Oever (et.al.), (with permission), since I find it relevant for this Working group: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/poi3.422 "Sanctions and infrastructural ideologies: Assessing the material shaping of EU digital sovereignty in response to the war in Ukraine" Authors: Niels ten Oever, Clement Perarnaud, John Kristoff, Moritz Müller, Max Resing, Arturo Filasto, Chris Kanich First published: 11 September 2024 https://doi.org/10.1002/poi3.422 Abstract In this paper, we interrogate the sanctions instated against Russian media by the European Union (EU) in response to Russia's aggression in Ukraine. We do this in three ways. First, we present the outcome of extensive network measurements that show the heterogeneous implementation of the sanctions in EU Member States. Second, we explain how the sanctions fit the EU's digital sovereignty agenda. And third, we theorise the EU's digital sovereignty policies and sanctions as the emergence of a repressive state apparatus that forms a metagovernance regime with the ideological state apparatus of multistakeholder internet governance. We explain how networks are shaped in the dialectical relation between the ideological and repressive state apparatuses by showing how multistakeholder internet governance aims to stay politically neutral to accommodate the politics of different repressive state apparatuses. In turn, repressive state apparatuses define their demands in a technologically neutral way so multistakeholder internet governance can continue to develop and adapt communication networks. This research combines methods from Computer Science with theoretical frameworks from European Studies, Science and Technology Studies, Media Studies and International Relations. Through this work, we aim to contribute to the practice of interdisciplinary analysis of communication networks and debates on digital sovereignty, European infrastructuralisation, and internet governance.

NL consultation on IPv6 consultation
by Romain Bosc 24 Sep '24

24 Sep '24

Colleagues, Just flagging for those interested that the Dutch Standardisation Forum is having a consultation on IPv6. Here is the link to the consultation and relevant documents (in Dutch): https://internetconsultatie.nl/ipv6/b1 To note, comments in English are also welcomed, and the deadline is on 4 October 2024. In a nutshell, the Standardisation Forum, which is an initiative supported by the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Ministry of Interior -- advising on the use of ICT standards and maintaining a list of ICT standards that are either mandatory or recommended for the public sector -- is currently assessing the scope of application of the 'apply or explain' list covering IPv6 and whether additional clarification is needed. In this context, a document gathering recommendations from an expert group has been published and is available on the webpage of the consultation. The current scope is: *IPv6 and IPv4 should be applied in combination (‘dual stack’) to communication between applications in (a) network(s).* The expert group recommends changing the scope of application as follows: “*IPv6 should be applied to digital services, such as websites and e-mail servers. In addition, end-user devices should be able to reach websites, applications and other digital services on the Internet via IPv6. If necessary, it is permitted to additionally apply IPv4 (dual stack).*” It also recommends changing the name (caption) on the list from “IPv6 and IPv4” to “IPv6”. Let us know if you have any questions or comments. Best wishes Romain -- Romain Bosc Sr Public Policy & Governance Officer RIPE NCC E: rbosc(a)ripe.net

The full document can be accessed here: https://www.un.org/sites/un2.un.org/files/sotf-pact_for_the_future_adopted.… <https://www.un.org/sites/un2.un.org/files/sotf-pact_for_the_future_adopted.…> The following GDC paragraphs (26-29) that relate to the nature of Internet governance, were agreed by Member States after several document revisions: Internet Governance 26. We recognize that the Internet is a critical global facility for inclusive and equitable digital transformation. To fully benefit all, it must be open, global, interoperable, stable and secure. 27. We recognize that Internet governance must continue to be global and multistakeholder in nature, with the full involvement of governments, the private sector, civil society, international organizations, technical and academic communities, and all other relevant stakeholders in accordance with their respective roles and responsibilities. We reaffirm that Internet governance should continue to follow the provisions set forth in the outcomes of the summits held in Geneva and Tunis, including in relation to enhanced cooperation. 28. We acknowledge the importance of the Internet Governance Forum as the primary multistakeholder platform for discussion of Internet governance issues. 29. We commit to: (a) Promote an open, global, interoperable and reliable Internet and take concrete steps to maintain a safe, secure and enabling online environment for all (SDG 9); (b) Support the Internet Governance Forum, including through continued efforts to increase diverse participation from governments and other stakeholders from developing countries and the provision of voluntary funding also to this end (SDG 9 &10); (c) Promote international cooperation among all stakeholders to prevent, identify and address risks of fragmentation of the Internet in a timely manner (SDG 16); (d) Refrain from Internet shutdowns and measures that target Internet access (SDG 16). You can still follow the UN GA debagte live sessions today via the Webtv.un.org <http://webtv.un.org/>. We also hope to have a discussion on this topic and WSIS +20 at our next meeting in Prague on October 31st. Desiree, Julf and Achilleas — Coop WG Co-chairs
